Chapter 726

Sun Jian asked Chen Ren, of course, to discuss the matter of sending Chen Ren to the South County. However, Chen Ren was obviously hurt by Sun Jian's lack of loyalty before. He ignored Sun Jian's proposal, which made him cry and laugh.

Of course, Chen Ren just lost his temper. What he had to do was to ask zumao to take his army to Xuzhou and transfer Zhuge Liang back. Naturally, Chen Ren wanted Zhuge Liang to recruit Pang Tong who had stayed in Lujiang. Moreover, he made it clear to Sun Jian that after the war in Xuzhou, Chen would have to give Chen any big holiday, and he would guarantee that it would be more than one year. Only then did Chen Ren take Sun Jian's military orders and go to the barracks with satisfaction.

Poor Chen Ren, however, did not know that Sun Jian had a small calculation in his mind. This time, it must take some time for sun Jianqiang to merge Xuzhou and Jingzhou. In one or two years, there won't be any big war. It's better to give Chen any favor. If Chen Ren knew that Sun Jian was thinking this way, he was afraid that he would go back to seclusion with his wife and son.

First, he went home to say goodbye to his wife and sons. Although he was about to leave when he just came back, he was really reluctant to give up. But for the big holiday of more than one year, Chen Ren had to bite his teeth and leave reluctantly. Back at the barracks, Chen Ren did not say a word, but seized several leaders of the new army, saying, "go to Xuzhou with me tomorrow!" After that, he turned around and left, leaving everyone in a daze. It took a long time for them to return to their senses. They were all sweating.

The next day, Chen Ren pulled up the new army, which had just been out for a few days, and went to Xuzhou, where war broke out.

After landing from Wulin, Chen Ren ordered the new army to take a temporary rest. After the camp was settled, Chen Ren called all the major generals and officials of the new army together to hold a short pre war meeting in Chen Ren's big tent 。

"Our target is Nanjun city. According to intelligence, there are 340000 yellow turban troops stationed in Nanjun City, and the equipment is very good!" Chen Ren simply opened the map shop on the ground in the middle of the big tent, squatting aside and pointing to the position of Nanjun city.

Zhao Yun frowned on one side and said, "who are the generals of the other side?"

Chen Ren shook his head and replied, "the other party's generals, the distribution of troops and the hoarding of grain and grass are not clear for the time being."

Hearing Chen Ren's remarks, everyone frowned. They only knew the approximate total number of people, while the others were blank. This is rare for Soochow, which has always had a strong intelligence network. This in itself is a sign that the other side is definitely not like the Yellow turban army ten years ago. Although the number is large, they are all mobs. Obviously, the 340000 yellow turban army should be no inferior to the regular army. Everyone realized that this would be a tough battle.

Chen Ren continued: "what's more, intelligence also shows that the Huangjin army gave up the cities and counties around Nanjun, such as Mianyang, jingling and Maicheng, and concentrated all their forces in one city. Obviously, they wanted to win or lose a war with us."

Lu Meng's eyes narrowed slightly and said, "good! This time, let's go to Shandao camp to try how powerful these yellow scarves are When speaking, he showed great confidence.

But Ding Feng was grumbling: "no way! It's our turn to fly star camp this time

Zhao Yun and Ling Cao are silent people, but from their eyes, we can see that their desire for this battle is no less than that of LV Meng and Ding Feng, and the other generals in big tent are all boiling with blood.

Chen Ren said with a smile: "don't worry! This time, all our new army will be on! In the previous war in Xuzhou, we used more strategies. This time, we should let the whole world know that our new army is definitely the strongest army in the world even if it is a frontal confrontation! "

"Oh All the people were excited by Chen Ren's words. Then, under Chen Ren's command, Wenci on the side drew out another map, which was the topographic map of Nanjun city and its surrounding areas. Chen Ren made a gesture to the generals around him. When all the generals got to the top of the map, they could hear Chen Ren explain the tactics of the war in detail on the map. In this battle, Chen Ren is bound to win!

At the same time, in Nanjun City, Pang Ji's prefect's residence was still brightly lit. In the Council hall, several people in yellow robes were talking with each other darkly. Under the light of the candle, it was Pang Degong, a famous hermit in Jingzhou, who was sitting in the middle!

"Gentlemen! Sun Jian of Jiangdong sent 100000 troops to attack our Nanjun. What do you think? " Pang De Gong is still that pair of immortals, but that yellow Taoist robe in the shaking candle light, appears to be particularly strange.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!" A strong man looked up to the sky with a long smile. His narrow Taoist robe was stretched tightly on his strong body, which seemed somewhat incoherent. The strong man said with a smile, "how can a hundred thousand people get our yellow turban heavenly army?"

"Brother Li Ji!" It was a skinny Taoist who was sitting opposite the strong man. He had a moustache on his skinny face, and his voice was soft and soft. "Don't underestimate this army, or you will destroy the hard work of Duke de for more than ten years!"The strong man named Li Ji was obviously annoyed by the thin Taoist priest. He immediately stood up and roared, "Du Ming! What do you mean by that! Make it clear to me! "

The skinny Taoist named Du Ming was still that wretched expression and said with a cold smile, "what do I mean? You know the most! Jiang xiashou is not your brother! If it was not for his disadvantage in defending the city that Huang Gai took the city, why should the heavenly army be so embarrassed to defend a city? "

When Du Ming talked about his unpromising brother, Li Ji's face turned red. Originally, I wanted to do a good job for my brother, but I didn't expect to let him go into the hell's gate. The damned sun CE, he would not take revenge, and he would not be a man! Li Ji swore secretly in his heart, while pulling out his sword, he pointed to Du Ming and said, "it's not wrong for my brother to lose Jiang Xia. Don't you have any responsibility? Do you think I don't know? The general of Wuling is recommended by you! Who knows how much money you've collected from him, and you should recommend such a waste! "

Du Ming's slender eyes flashed cold light from time to time. Looking at Li Ji, who was pointing at himself with a sword, he sneered: "what are you? You want to kill me? Ricky! How dare you! How dare you use weapons in front of Duke de! "

After being drunk by Du Ming, Li Ji remembered that Pang Degong was in front of him. However, it would be too shameless to take back the sword like this. Li Ji would not take back the sword without holding it. The last middle-aged man sitting in the hall got up to be a peacemaker and said, "OK! okay! Everyone is for the great cause of Taiping. There is no right or wrong! Don't mention the past. What we need to do now is how to deal with officers and soldiers. Do you want to repeat what happened ten years ago? "

The middle-aged man told the secret story of the failure of the Yellow turban rebellion led by Zhang Jiao ten years ago. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao's two younger brothers, originally led an army and formed a situation of mutual confrontation with Zhang Jiao's troops. However, Zhang Jiao suddenly died of illness, which not only caused chaos in the formation of the Yellow turban army, but more importantly, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang fought against each other in order to fight for the throne of Zhang Jiao's "great virtuous division". This gave the officers and soldiers the opportunity to break down one by one, and the war that was supposed to win was thus lost.

Listening to the middle-aged man turn over these old things, maybe he thinks that he is reasonable. Maybe it is because of the steps, Li Ji takes the sword back to his waist angrily, and Du Ming doesn't speak any more.

Pang took a look at the middle-aged man with admiration and said, "Yan Fei, what do you think of the officers and soldiers who came to attack this time?"

Yan Fei, a middle-aged man, said, "Duke de! Chen Ren, the first general under Sun Jian, led the army this time. The Dragon general who defeated Lv Bu in front of Sishui pass was called the first general in the world. I don't think it's a false name! In Xuzhou, he led the 100000 new army to seize Pengcheng skillfully. Cao Cao's army was also an excellent division, but he did not dare to fight back, so he directly withdrew from Xiaopei and xiapi. It can be seen that this man's strategy is extraordinary! "

Pound nodded, stroked his beard under his chin and said, "good! I met him once before he became an official in those years. At that time, I found that he was different. He wanted him to submit to the heavenly army, but he ran away. Now it seems that this man is indeed one of the best talents in the world. Unfortunately, if he is kept on that day, the heavenly army will have another excellent general. "

Li Ji was a little unconvinced. He stood up again and said, "don't try to raise the morale of others. If Chen Ren is less than 30, where can he be! I will cut off his head and give it to Duke de in the next war

This time, Du Ming and Li Ji had the same attitude, and said with a measured smile: "brother Yanfei, don't exaggerate Chen Ren too much. If you think of him as a martial arts man, how much wisdom can he reach. The previous attack on Xuzhou just depended on the large number of people. What's the relationship between his wisdom and his strategy? "

Yan Fei was robbed by the two men for a while, but there was no response. Instead, he continued to say in a deep voice: "this time, the number of troops sent by Soochow to attack Nanjun is more than three times that of the other side. Therefore, I think it is better to go out of the city to meet the enemy. If you stick to the city, you will not be able to give full play to the advantages of the heavenly army, and the grain and grass stored in the city is not enough to meet the needs of the heavenly army in guarding the city. "

Li Ji and Du Ming did not object to Yan Fei's opinion. They both agreed to send troops to meet the enemy. Pang De Gong nodded frequently and said with a smile, "OK! If we can defeat Sun Jian's 100000 army, he will not have to worry about it. At that time, we will send troops to Xiangyang again. As soon as Xiangyang is broken, Sun Jian's two troops in Jingzhou will also be withdrawn. By then, Jingzhou will be our Taiping heavenly way. "
